Chapter 367: Chapter 367 Confession (1)_1

"Xiao Xin," Yu Qihao looked at the girl he liked, and his smile naturally carried pampering and fondness. Situ Xin, who had an extremely low EQ, especially regarding her own emotions, was so clueless that she mistook Yu Qihao’s doting for brotherly affection.

"Eh, Brother Qihao, why are you here?" Once Situ Xin had swallowed the small piece of purple sweet potato cake in her mouth, she looked up and asked Yu Qihao.

"Well, Xiao Xin, I came to tell you something," Yu Qihao took a deep breath before speaking. He was so nervous that his heart was pounding uncontrollably.

When Situ Xin heard Yu Qihao say this, she was reminded of how Xiao Muli had looked and what he had said when he confessed to her that day. Her heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out, "Brother Qihao, you’re not going to confess to me, are you?"

As soon as Situ Xin said this, Yu Qihao’s ears began to redden. "Yes, I want to confess to you, Xiao Xin, I like you. I really like you a lot. Will you be my girlfriend?"

Thinking it was one thing, but hearing it was another, and now Situ Xin dropped the piece of purple sweet potato cake she was holding with her chopsticks onto the plate in front of her. She wondered to herself why she was suddenly on a streak of attracting admirers.

Old Madam Situ, upon hearing Yu Qihao’s confession, on the other hand, showed an expression as if she had guessed it would happen. Thankfully, Old Madam Situ was not like Old Master Situ, who was less adept at handling things. After hearing the confession, she didn’t approach but pretended not to hear anything and continued focusing on her own tasks.

Seeing that Situ Xin didn’t respond to his confession, Yu Qihao felt his heart sinking slightly. Still, he spoke up, "Xiao Xin, do you agree to be my girlfriend?"

"Brother Qihao, your confession is too sudden, I’m totally unprepared. How about this, let me think it over properly and I will tell you once I’ve made up my mind, okay?"

Since Situ Xin hadn’t outright rejected him, Yu Qihao breathed a sigh of relief. "Sure, let me know once you’ve decided." Now, he and Xiao Muli were on an even footing at the starting line. No, actually, he was ahead of Xiao Muli, considering Xiao Muli had that fiancée from their childhood betrothal agreement.

On one hand, Situ Xin was greatly disturbed by Xiao Muli and Yu Qihao’s confessions. She complained to Baibai, "Baibai, what’s going on with me lately? Am I on some peach blossom luck? Ah, it’s so annoying!"

Baibai, munching on fruit, looked at his owner who had complained countless times about being so annoyed, and couldn’t help sighing, "Master, what’s there to be bothered about? Just choose whichever one you like." For Baibai, it seemed like a simple multiple-choice question: choose A or B, or neither.

Situ Xin glared at Baibai, who was now enjoying his fruit even more, and said unhappily, "If it were as simple and easy as you say, then I wouldn’t be so bothered. Forget it, I won’t talk about it with you, the feelings of a Divine Beast and a human are different, after all."

Baibai felt indignant when Situ Xin said this, putting down his fruit. He stared at Situ Xin and said, "Master, what do you mean by that? Are you discriminating against Divine Beasts? Master, you shouldn’t think like that. We Divine Beasts are a high-class race, we..."

"Stop, stop, I know, I know, I’m not discriminating against Divine Beasts, and I acknowledge that you guys are high-class." Situ Xin hurriedly cut Baibai off. From past experience, she knew Baibai, once he started nagging, could outdo any middle-aged auntie. He could keep repeating himself endlessly in your ear.

Situ Xin felt so bothered because she never expected Xiao Muli and Yu Qihao to confess to her, to like her. She had always treated them as brothers.

While Situ Xin was troubled, little did she know that her grandfather and maternal grandfather were discussing something even more troublesome for her.

Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo shared their idea of personally picking out suitable husband candidates for Situ Xin. Unexpectedly, Old Master Loo, who normally acted sensibly, this time totally agreed with Old Master Situ’s decision. And so, they began planning.

If Situ Xin knew what the two old masters were plotting, who knows how she would react.

The day Xiao Guobing and Liu Yun were kicked out of the Xiao Family by Old Master Xiao, the pair roamed Capital City clueless about where to go. Finally, having no other choice, they took Fu Xiaoyi with them to Liu Yun’s parental home, the Liu Family.

The Liu Family warmly welcomed the arrival of Xiao Guobing and Liu Yun. After all, the Liu Family now depended on their assistance in many matters. And Fu Xiaoyi was already familiar with the members of the Liu Family.

Fu Xiaoyi’s father had often helped the Liu Family and had received many favors from them.

Xiao Guobing and Liu Yun, after arriving at the Liu Family’s home, did not dare disclose that Old Master Xiao had expelled them. And Fu Xiaoyi was even less likely to speak about it. Thus, the Liu Family remained unaware of the events that had transpired in the Xiao Family, assuming Liu Yun had simply brought her husband for a visit.

But the next morning, while Xiao Guobing and Liu Yun were still asleep, they were awakened by persistent knocking at the door.

After discussing Old Master Xiao’s decision to sever ties with them until late the previous night, the couple were seriously sleep-deprived. Liu Yun grumpily called out to the person beyond the door, "Who is it, disturbing people this early in the morning?"

Liu Yun wasn’t planning on opening the door, but the knocking grew louder and more urgent, forcing her out of bed to do so.

Upon opening the door, she found her nephew, his face filled with anxiety. "Ah Jie, what’s happened to make you so flustered?"

"Aunt, it’s terrible, my parents and your elder brother have all been arrested," Liu Chaojie was understandably frantic. The Liu Family, except for the elderly and the children, had all been taken away. That morning, just as they were getting out of bed, a group of people in police uniforms barged in. Without allowing any chance for explanations, they arrested everyone.

"What? What’s going on?" The remaining drowsiness fled from Liu Yun upon hearing her nephew, Liu Chaojie’s words. "When did this happen?"
